Has the world completely given up on the general election, the conference perspective.
April 29th, 2010
Over the years it’s been an unwritten rule that no sane conference organiser would choose to run an event during the two or three week build up to a general election. The logic, the world or at least the UK cared who was elected, they put making an informed decision first. If they cared then they don’t now, we are fully booked next week.
The army of political and media analysts here have produced a mass of reports analysing this. The conclusion is inconclusive. 24hour news means that the possibilities to stay informed and misinformed have mushroomed. Perhaps the conference attendees do consider themselves informed but just don’t care. Maybe they think all politicians or at least all the ones of the moment are either to similar they don’t trust / believe them so they feel disfranchised, if you have no influence why bother!

Is it worth it ?
February 24th, 2010
All this blogging all these thousands of words, why. It’s not clear if we are want to be Samuel Pepys or just desperately trying to brown tongue the latter day god of Mr. Google.
What’s even sadder our guru won’t tell us his likes or dislikes, truly a deity? We make offerings (countless hours and billions of words) does he see them, are they worth it, who knows. Cavendish conference venues (Mayfair COnference Centre, Cavendish Conference Centre, One America Square Conference Centre, Hallam Conference Centre, ICO Conference Centre) blog is an example tens of thousands of words, hundreds of hours. A handful of comments makes you feel like you are talking to the abyss, where apparently no-one can hear you scream.

Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives
February 5th, 2010
Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives.
We have now moved all our electricity supplies from the Megalith that is EDF albeit on a green tariff (Carbon levy exempt) to Ecotricity. The logic is twofold. Firstly we prefer dealing with smaller companies, EDF professes to have somewhere over 100 000 employees, there is just no human face; it is all about systems and processes. Second, EDF produces both clean and dirty electricity, we prefer to buy from a company who are 100% focused on clean electricity, not an organisation with a foot in both camps.
We have moved our food waste recycling from Paper Round another ancient megalith with the customer service to match. To a much smaller organisation with a composting facility 20miles away from us, as opposed to the 100+ miles round trip the disaster calling itself paper round used. The savings in CO2 emissions are clearly fantastic.

Sustainable Standards for Conferences and Events – Absolute Chaos
January 28th, 2010
At least 10 standardised ways of measuring the sustainability of a conference event or meeting, could things be more chaotic.
With ISO 20121 being mooted as the new international standard for sustainable events, sitting atop of the domestic standard of ISO 14001, then we have BSI 8901 as a further refinement. Sitting beneath these are a whole host of individual UK government supported measures, Green Tourism Scheme, Green Mark, Hospitality climates etc. Then yet further down the rung you have a series of single issue government schemes run by the various agencies i.e. Envirowise, Carbon Trust, WRAP etc etc.
The cost in terms of time to administer all of this is at tenable for even the largest organisations (I guess that why not one of them has bothered to sign up to them all) The cost to the government to administer this edifice must be staggering.
That’s why so many venues have resorted to their devices. Leading the pack is Cavendish Conference Venues London’s leading supplier of conference and meeting rooms. Who recently announced that they have achieved landfill neutral status, something which has been verified by their recent victory in winning the Visit London 2009/2010.

Cavendish Conference Venues embrace Google wave
January 19th, 2010
We are trialling a version of Google wave with the aim of integrating this technology into speaker presentations hopefully to make them truly interactive. Maybe we will be able to have a live dynamic presentation running with a social media input allowing virtual attendees to interact with the presentation. This is in a sense is a democratisation of webcasting technology, in that the latter is so technology heavy the number of users is inevitably restricted. For example at our America Square Conference Centre in the city of London we hosted a webcast last week for a large listed company to announce their annual results both to 140 delegates in the room but simultaneously to 80 analysts around the world. To put this technology in place took an engineer two days. In an attempt to lighten this load for some time now at our Cavendish Conference Centre we have been trialling something along these lines using twitter feeds. We think the Google wave should allow us to a quantum step in what used to be called taking the classroom out of the school and to the children.
